The reaction of terephthaloyl chloride with cyanotrimethylsilane in the presence of pyridine gave 1,4-bis(dicyanotrimethylsiloxymethyl)benzene, which was treated with POCl3-pyridine to afford tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) along with its dichloride.Similarly, 2,5-dimethyl-TCNQ and 2-bromo-TCNQ were prepared from the corresponding tetraphthaloyl chlorides.
